Zain Parks · Answer 1

D.) 1 mole of helium gas at 0.5 atm pressure.

Clancy · Answer 2

1 mole of helium gas at 0.5 atm pressure.

Since this is the lowest pressure, it will have the largest volume. In a larger volume, the gas particles have a greater space to move around in and hence, more disorder.
